Just watched "Rope of Sand," and I got a new favorite Peter Lorre character.

First off: Boo Berry is clearly based on Toady.

Boo's outfit is allegedly modeled after Toady's. But it seems like more than just the outfit to me.

Toady repeatedly appears out of nowhere, floating in from around a pillar or just abruptly appearing right there next to the other characters, like a ghostly marshmallow, and then vanishes as quickly as he came. His white suit shines against his dark surroundings. I am convinced that this character specifically inspired someone to make a Peter Lorre ghost.

His body shape is also the same as Boo's here. And on that note, I love how the movie works with the weight gain that was outside of Lorre's control to find new ways for him to be otherworldly. He probably couldn't slink between other characters and slither agilely through doors like he had in "Casablanca;" so instead, he rolls around from behind a pillar, or just suddenly appears next to someone, mooching of their cigarette match. He is an ethereal little cloud.

Second, Toady is totally Ugarte.

He is the exact same character, except for a chill wisdom that could come from surviving a rough life, and a traumatic capture.

We only have Strasser and Renault's word that Ugarte is dead, they wouldn't kill him before extracting the location of the visas from him, and they'd have every reason to lie to Laszlo about his death. How Ugarte escaped Casablanca and made it to a better life in South Africa is a story I want to hear. And knowing "Toady," one he'd love to tell.

I can't as ready explain why Martingale and Vogel look and sound identical to Renault and Laszlo, but there are various explanations. Could be relatives, or just a coincidences. Or Martingale could be Renault living under an new identity after he defected; the idea of him and Ugarte now being close friends is a cute one. Vogel obviously isn't Laszlo, but maybe Laszlo had some relatives who weren't as noble as him.

Ugarte becoming Toady is just...exactly what I need to patch the pain of his departure in "Casablanca." He's like a timid, defensive stray cat, feeding off scraps he can manipulate out of those around him, until the powers that be decide to chase him down and haul him off to the pound; then miraculously, years later, he's a chill, plump house cat, catching treats in the air.

Saved this one because it’s the oldest pic I’ve seen showing a running martingale. Also interesting bc the rider seems to be riding one handed, the reins have a tail off to one side like a mecate, all bridle horse things, but the horse is is in a snaffle. 🤷‍♀️ Haven’t seen a lot of horses in snaffles in these old pics.

House Song (Searows) ~ February 3rd 2023

Lyrics ~

Tall white house with an empty room

And your name carved over the door

Facing out to the tallest view

From your place on the second floor

Sound it out to an empty house

Was it just like you had before

Savior pulled from an open mouth

Did you want to be something more

Now your taller than you’ve ever been

There’s a mark on the wall, you see

I’m sure that someone will draw a new one

And paint over it before they leave

Mark my words there’s thousand things

That don’t wash out with anything

I keep you clean you surrounded me

And my windows are breaking

Something is rotten inside of me

I have to find it and

Cut it out

Cut it out

Martingale (Searows) ~ August 21st 2024

Lyrics ~

I am starting to resent myself

I'm watching you across the room

And I am powerless to stop myself

From slowly turning into you

There's a satellite above my house

I think it watches over me

If it could know me from the inside out

You'd be the only thing it'd see

So if this is it

You said it when you chose this

I don't wanna miss the plan

How you wanna live

When nothing makes you hopeless

Holding it with both your hands

Say you learned the hard way

You don't like to be alone

Preyed on by some new kind of paranoia

So you don't pick up the phone

When it all comes down to it

You were right, I was wrong

What if I got my fishing lines all tied around your throat

And you died there in that pond

This is just a description

Of the daughter you made her into

You made her out of pieces of you

It's the body's affliction

It's the pain making circles in you

Like dogs that just wanna get loose

Understanding the Reverse Martingale System

The Reverse Martingale system is a betting strategy where you double your bet after each win, aiming to maximize profits during winning streaks. Unlike the traditional Martingale, which doubles bets after losses, the Reverse Martingale reduces the risk of significant losses by only increasing bets when you are already winning. This approach allows you to capitalize on winning streaks while minimizing potential losses. To use this system effectively, it’s important to set a limit on the number of consecutive wins before returning to your original bet to protect your gains.

[wisdomfish]

The bit, martingale, tie down, spur, and crop school the horse to listen to the rider’s commands. How hard it would be for an animal, without the aid of his master, to train himself up in the way he should go. It’s the same for humans. ~ Joni Eareckson Tada
